[Q] Trouble with factory setting after Rooting - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm having problems with my phone right now.
I rebooted my phone to factory setting, and I'm on the stage where I set my phone up.
At the settings page, I keep getting an error that says "Unfortunately, setting has stopped working," and I can't go further.
Any idea on how to fix this?
My phone was rooted before I put it into factory setting.

Do another factory reset.

[Q] How to reload stock rom?

Hey guys, after trying to root my device and trying to mess with some settings I decided that I would prefer to go back to the original state. Will factory reset completely get rid of everything I've done? I used the Super One Click method. I want to completely get rid of EVERYTHING i've done and just start with a fresh device again. I tried factory reset, but I still saw Super User. How can I get rid of this? When I did unroot on Super One Click, last time it just stopped at removing the apk. So I just rerooted.
The original reason why I wanted to do this was because I was getting an error message upon installing apps (18), and then I tried to install astro and delete a file (asec) which didn't let me. So I rerooted, and it still wouldn't let me. I'm so confused! LOL!
I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions? I'm all ears!
Thanks.
Power off, hold the volume up and down and power on. you will get a menu and select fatoy reset

[Q] "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working" after factory reset

Hello folks,
The SGH-i337 is my first android device and I've had it only for a few days now. I rooted the phone using the "1 click root and debloat" files in the development section of this forum. Everything worked great after that. Today I installed an unofficial apk on my phone but I wasn't comfortable with it at all. So I did a factory reset (are you not supposed to do that?)
After the factory reset, the phone boots up and gives me the usual settings menu. At the end of the settings however, it lags for a few seconds before it says "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working". This brings me back to the "choose a device name" menu in settings. If I fill it out again and go through settings, it crashes again. I can't get into anything else on the phone since it keeps going through the initial setup.
I've tried booting into recovery mode and deleting the cache. I doubt that this clears it since the phone gives me an error and reboots. I tried selecting factory reset through the recovery mode but that also gave me the same issue (said error and rebooted).
After some searching I've found that flashing a stock rom with odin might be the best way to go. Is that correct or is there a better way? On the odin download page, it only lists the 9505 version for Galaxy S4. Could I use that for my SGH-i337?
I think the phone is still rooted because it says Samsung Custom before booting up. Thanks for the help!
Had same exact issue as well.
I booted in to download mode and flashed it with factory rom, then installed CWM.
This is what i used. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297033

Oh man, you're a life saver. I'm downloading the file and I'll give it a shot. So just to confirm, I put the phone into download mode and run Run_Me.bat and that should fix the issue?
Also for future reference, are you not supposed to do a factory reset after rooting your phone? Thanks!
Fixed it
The issue arose because the settings program was supposed to follow up with at&t locker setup. But since I had deleted the at&t files with the debloat tool, it kept crashing. So the solution was to reset the phone to stock firmware. I used Odin 3.07 to flash the factory ROM onto the phone and now everything is back to normal.
I guess this also answers my previous question, if I'd probably have the same problem again if I do a factory reset.

Just dont use all in one tool as you did before. Just use the chooper rooting process in the link I provided.
Then manually remove the apps you dont with titanium backup.

"Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" error message on boot

"Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" error message on boot
Hey guys,
After flashing the 4.4.2 firmware to my Note 3, I get the following error message once the device turns on: "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped". I can just click ok and the message goes away but it shouldn't be appearing in the first place so does anyone know how to make it go away?
Thanks!

Only known solution I have on these issues is a factory reset. I don't think there's another way of fixing it. It is always recommended to do a factory reset before flashing a new ROM.
Hope this helps

I will give it a try see if it works.
I've tried resetting the phone but the message still appears. I've also tried tr-flashing the rom and that hasn't worked either. What else could it be?
I had this error message the first and the second time I booted my phone when I got it. I haven't seen it since then!
I have Hangouts, messages and S Voice disabled. Not sure if it has something to do with those apps...
Same issue...I have tried all full wipe, full reset, stock 4.4.2, leak, but still have that problem
I had the same issue. I did go to recovery and format everything in internal memory. Then, installed Kitkat from PC Odin...

Had the exactly same issue, I did a factory reset and it worked.
On similar problems with upgrades on both the S4 and S3 this have helped:
Go to phone settings-->More, then select Date and Time. Change the date format to something else then change it back to the format you wanted. Save and go back.
I have no idea if this will help on this problem but it might be a thing to try instead of a factoryreset
same problem here
I believe messing around with cheat droid messed up my phone,and I can't find a solution.

I've a Samsung galaxy exhibit t599n also got scanned by odin pro but can't post the results...
This error is usually linked to Facebook contact sync...
Does it also occur after a full wipe without installing/restoring any apps, accounts or contacts?
Also, test a different SIM, it might be malfunctioning.

Had to factory reset and now I'm stuck on the Samsung Account locked page

My Note 3 kept rebooting once it got into the OS, no idea why just started doing it today.
Had to factory reset from the boot menu.
Now even after I have put my Samsung Account details in it keeps saying "process failed" and I can't get into my phone!
What is going on?
HELP!!!

Somehow the OS is f----d (corrupted). You need to install the ROM again, start fresh.
Is reactivation lock enabled? Check the status in download mode.
tried skipping Samsung Account page?
You can log in later after getting in right.
Well I tried everything to no avail!
For laughs and giggles I disabled WiFi and used the 4G and would you believe it....it went through!
How odd!

Stuck on 'Phone is starting' after updating to Android 12

Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?

Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.

Any way to factory reset. I tried every possible way following YouTube but nothing works. It's just stuck. I've a backup of my data so not worried.
No, I still have the same issue.
Have you tried to install a launcher?

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.
I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
